Wet Leg, English Teacher, und Sounds of the City

I saw Wet Leg on October 1st, 2025 at the Fox Theater in Oakland. They put on an impressive, if not ear-shattering performance. This set was LOUD and I recommend if you see them that you bring ear protection. I enjoyed the music but the lyrics were a little difficult to make out over the extremely loud guitar and drums. I wasn't disappointed so much as surprised. If you have seen their videos or live sets you may get feel like the band is a subdued alternative rock band, but I am not exaggerating that this live set was the loudest of the last 16 concerts I have attended. I don't regret seeing them but I do think the live performance is more what you would expect from a Poppy set than what you take away from their music videos or other performances you see online. Just be prepared and you will enjoy yourself. The only other slightly disappointing part was the set was rather short, only 90 minutes and there was no encore. That said, it was a fair price for what you got. But as I have said before be prepared for a very, very LOUD experience. This was not the venue which I have attended many times before, but this particular bands choice of acoustics. I can only imagine what they would have sounded like in a concrete box like The Catalyst.
